How often do you bathe your dogs (again)

[AmandaNola]

In the summer, anywhere from 4-6 weeks depending on what we've been doing. In the winter it's 6-8+ weeks. Whenever she starts to smell a bit like a dog she gets tossed in the bath.

More now than I used to, since Gusto now insists on sleeping under the covers. They get done whenever they roll in something, and probably one a month if there hasn't been an emergency bath.

When ever they need it kind of. Peewee only gets a bath 1 or 2 times a year. Its hard for him to get in the garden tub, so most of his baths are outdoors with the hose.
Ivan rarely gets a bath these days, I usually just take a damp cloth and give him a wipe down. Every 3ish months I will give him a good deep cleaning. When he was actively showing, it was usually once a month or right before a show.
Phoebe, ahh hasn't had a bath yet. LOL She is going to get one either tonight or more likely tomorrow. We are going visiting and I want to make sure she is as dandruff less as possible.

In the summer? Usually once a week, or at least every 10 days.

In the winter, it's a lot less. Maybe every 3-4 weeks.

The Poodles: once a week, plus shave, nails, ears. Their hair, being hair is different and it helps keep them tangle free and keeps the long hair on Matisse nice and fluffy.

The Chihuahuas: every other week or sometimes longer. But nails get done once a week and ears.

Every other week for Lola, I do it right before every therapy visit.

Henry rarely smells or gets dirty. Rhys is always into everything and is light colored, so I'm paranoid about him. They both get bathed every 2-4 weeks without fail. They sleep on all the furniture and Henry in bed with us, so I'm a little nutty about them being clean.

Gambit repells grossness, so he only gets done every other month or so.

Gimmick gets soooooooo nasty. He's a rough rider at daycare and is constanly covered in slobber. I about barfed the other day when I found him being drooled on by the worst poop eater in daycare. :yikes: he gets done about every 10 days

This time of year, the dogs get bathed once a week usually because we go hiking on the mountain, and it's usually really muddy up there.

All other times of the year, almost never.

Now that she doesn't sleep in my bed, hardly ever. She's got a great coat that doesn't pick up dirt or smell. I work at a groomers and I still only bath her every couple of months.

Morgan gets a bath (well, a shower) when he asks for one, or maybe if we decide to have him prettied up for out-of-town guests visiting or something.

Left to his own devices, he'd probably get bathed 3-4 times a year, which is honestly fine. He's never been the type to roll in anything stinky (something that I am eternally grateful for), plus I think if he got bathed much more than that, he would be dry-skin itchy.
